COUNSEL,
By Henry Kendrick Schofield.
You're blue lad:
Have things gone wrong?
Luck bad?
Then wake a song—
No difference it makes
If your lips are pinched and wan,
It's the spirit of the song, the bravery
it takes—
And the sad old, gay old world rolls
on,
You're here, Lad—
You cannot trade
Life sad
For one joy made:
So gracefully step ug
When your fortune's from you gone,
Grasp the sweetly bitter draught, and
smilingly then sup
For the sad old, gay old world rolls
on,
a
my
Be sure Lad
The world is right——
Lives glad
Are won by fight
Far weaker men than we
By ill fortune were made strongy
Error lies, not in the world, but deep
in you apd me—
And the sad old, gay old world rolls
on, —The Bohemian.

round her sister's room,

Miss Graham looked at her sister

laughed,
“Poor Phyl! Is he trying to edu-

“No, thit's the worst of it! He

Lady Elmsworth nodded, and a

ABOUT ANIMALS.
Can a dog climb a tree? A corre-
spondent writes: “While on a walk
on snowshoes in New Hampshire we
tracked a porcupine to a balsam fir,
in which it had taken refuge. My
Beottish terrier climbed the tree, pull-
ing herself up from branch to branch
to a height of about seven feet, where
a8 space of bare trunk separated her
from the porcupine, which had
watched her progress with evident
alarm. The terrier made
effectual attemptsto scale the smooth
bark and finally jumped down into
the snow.” And of another curious
trait the same writer tin
“This little dog and her mate, now
dead, though enthusiastic fire wor-
shipers at home, never sat near the
bonfires built at luncheon tea
time on winter walks, but dug holes
in the snow at a little distance, in
which they curled themselves up af-
ter the manner of their primitive an-
cestors.”’ .
Can an earthquake be
proaching, as a shower rain can
be felt, and a fall of snow? On the
Riviera in 1887 the horses laid their
ears back and gave every sign of un-
easiness. In Chile the birds have
been observed to fly inland just be-
fore a convulsion. In Talcahuano in
1835 all the dogs fled from the city.

tist who has collected a valuable list
